Running an e-commerce site means handling important user data, including personal information and credit card information.
There are risks involved in online shopping that arise from making transactions with people you cannot physically see, including sniffing, card falsification, and identity theft.
An "SSL server certificate" is effective at avoiding these risks.
SSL (Secure Socket Layer) is a technology that encrypts information exchanged over the Internet to prevent sniffing, card falsification, and identity theft by a third party. An "SSL server certificate" is a digital certificate for SSL that acts as proof of trust that the user’s information will be protected.
Allows you to prevent sniffing, falsification, and identity theft of personal data and card information by third parties.
Highlighting the safety of your service to users allows them to use it with peace of mind.
Since Google uses HTTPS as a ranking factor, it is also useful for improving your site’s search rank.
The main SSL server certificates introduced on e-commerce sites are the “EV” and “OV” types.
Allows you to prevent sniffing, falsification, and identity theft of personal data and card information by third parties.
Since it is difficult for criminals to obtain EV certificates, it acts as an inexpensive and powerful anti-phishing measure.
The name of merchants will be displayed in green in the address bar, reducing users’ anxiety and encouraging them to take action with their purchases.
EV certificates are issued based on unified industry standards that make safety visible, so they are expected to become standard for online shops in the future.
Issued after confirming an organization’s information and a call from the certifying authority.
Clicking the lock icon displays the organization’s information on the site, highlighting its safety to users.
A decryption method for SSL server certificates that use the SHA-1 signing algorithm ("SHA-1 certificates") has been discovered, and the certificate authorities have begun issues SHA-2 SSL server certificates. Microsoft further announced they would block communications for SHA-1 certificates starting from January 1, 2017, and has requested that the certificate authorities stop issuing certificate signed with SHA-1 by January 1, 2016.
We also offer SHA-2 compatible server certificates at a reasonable price for merchants already using SSL server certificates.
We hope you will take this opportunity to apply.
